Breakfast special at $10 is an absolute steal. Great eggs Benny at $10 including a coffee is not only a great price but the quality is top notch. Get in here while you can 👌🏽👍🏼
Okay place for some Italian food. The food and drink is not too terribly expensive. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Decent place for dinner.
Went to Groove train for their $10 breakfast deal!!! Only available on weekdays.
Egg Benny and one small coffee for only $10!
3 - 4 other items on the $10 menu too! Will definitely return to try them!

Had lunch with my vegan friend at The Groove Train today, I chose Ravioli Bolognaise (beef filled ravioli, with home-made bolognaise sauce & shaved Parmesan), (the shaved Parmesan was initially scarce so I had to ask for more & thankfully it was served without any issue), I found it pleasant although it wasn't served steaming hot as I prefer. For dessert I chose the Passion fruit Tart served with vanilla ice-cream, very very nice but very rich in flavour (my preferred dessert of Dark Chocolate mouse wasn't available) overall excellent value for just under $30. My friend ordered the Groove Train Veggie Burger for $18.90, the polenta chips were a tad bland, needed some form of seasoning, & some cheese on the burger would've been great (she isn't the strictest of vegans). Finally my friend had a Soy latte $4 which was excellent, Our meals were served within 15 minutes of ordering with the restaurant being moderately busy. The waitress provided excellent service provision and made our visit a memorable one. Overall ambiance was good & the décor was modern eclectic with a contrasting mixture of quirky bright orange plastic seats & black topped tables and comfortably black padded seats with white topped tables. The background music was unobtrusive being just audible.
The Juror's Verdict: Food 4/5, Service Provision 4.5/5, Will I return: Yes, overall a very pleasant lunch.

Nice spot to grab a bite. I first tried this place last week. Ok interior, service is good. The best thing I liked about this place is that it is conveniently located near an intersection and the price range in the menu is huge - from $7 to $30. If you're not too hungry for lunch, great spot to get the soup of the day (we both had curried carrots soup which was very rich and filling).
Great food, great service!. Great spot right in the heart of the city. I grab coffee there daily, and eat lunch there as often as I can. The staff is always very friendly and professional, and the food is great. The steaks are fantastic, and they're always happy to make dietary considerations (I ask for sweet potato instead of regular potatoes). The breakfast and coffee options are great value for money and very filling. The pizzas are also always a recommendation. And with a full bar, it's a great place for Friday night drinks after work.
Stood outside contemplating where to eat. Looked at the menu and walked right in.
All we needed was an antipasto platter with garlic pizza, eggplant chips and calamari, all washed down with a crisp Rosè.
Super friendly staff checked on us throughout our meal.
We were even treated to a tasting of polenta chips we didn't get to order.
This unpretentious, friendly place deserves more patronage. The food and staff are worth the visit.
As a weary traveller, this place is what I needed. Great attentive service, chilled out music, some space, a glass of red and great food (and easily able to accommodate dietary requirements).
Thanks guys. Will be back when next in Melbourne.
Great for late take-away dinner.. Previous comments have surprised me. I'm been working in Melbourne for the past 2 nights and Groove Train has been a perfect place to get a late take-away dinner. I've tried the Pesto Pasta and the Caesar Salad which were both great, and great value for money in the portion sizes. Decent coffee too. Will be back for sure.
What a great place. Hidden secret in this part of town. Must go and try it out wilth a great vibe and fantastic food. Highly recommend
I have spent many hours here. Either getting launch, having a meeting, or just sitting down for a few hours with a laptop to smash through your emails.
